https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2022/03/23/moderna-says-its-coronavirus-vaccine-young-children-is-safe-efficacy-is-more-complicated-picture/ Because the children’s trial wasn’t designed primarily to measure vaccine effectiveness, there are wide statistical uncertainties about the findings on efficacy, but the company said its statistical analysis showed it was above zero. There were no cases of serious illness or hospitalizations in the trial, which included close to 7,000 children 6 months to 5 years old, making it impossible to detect the vaccine’s possible protective effect against the worst outcomes I mean what the actual F... What will the vaccine prevent against then?
Vaccine companies realize that covid is ending. If they are to capitalize on people's fears and their concerns for their childrens' safety, it's now or never.
yea I mean so far the argument has been "It prevents serious illness and hospitalizations" but this one isn't even tested for it.
The way the earlier vaccine was tested successfully was possible only because outbreak at its peak. If that does not happen it takes years to develop vaccine and test it. That’s what we are seeing here as we do not have an outbreak anymore that serious especially in that age group for proper tested result
uh what? The outbreak started going away just now. They have been developing this vaccine for 2 years now. So they had ample time to test. Yes, they might not have enough people today sure.
They didn’t try kids vaccine then, since it’s the same vaccine effectively that’s why the go ahead. However, I think fda might not approve as it happened with the Pfizer one
We don't know if it will protect or what it will do to kids long term but people in places like California trying to force kids to get it are insane
If this get approved, we will know that “science” was not science from day 1 of the pandemic and this is extend the chasm between health authority and the public. Not good….
Yea, I wonder if any state will mandate this on to Kids.
